Access raw protobuffers returned from ArcGIS server

BrianBurttram — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 17:39:39 GMT

Hello there,

We are using ArcGIS Pro and ArcPy to create our vector tile services, hosted in ArcGIS Server, which are returned in protobuffer format to ArcGIS for JavaScript. There is information in the VectorTiles that we would like runtime access to, and because we don't have a better way of accessing the tile data, we have to requery the ArcGIS server for specific tiles before converting them to GeoJSON so that we can then mine the data within the tile layers.

Is there a better way to gain access to these tiles, given that ArcGIS for JavaScript has already queried for them and received a successful response? Is there a way to access the data from the Map we already have in memory, or get a handle to the tiles as they are loaded so that we can get the data we want instead of having to requery? And lastly I suppose, is there a better way to get access to the data embedded in the VectorTiles instead of converting them to GeoJSON?

Thanks for your time,

Brian
